Text Box: HAT Trax is an internet based, individual animal record management system, which allows producers to collect, enter, store, manage, and transfer animal data.  This data can be shared by any segment of the livestock industry and can be both sent and received by the centralized database system.  
The system incorporates electronic and visual identification for each animal record and these components are available for purchase on-line at the time of producer registration.  The electronic ID tag is the essential tool in which the matching of data to a specific animal is accompolished by matching it to the visual ID number.
The marriage of these two numbers within the database serves multiple functions such as queries with either visual or EID numbers, easy retrieval of a lost ID, easy reference made in the field using a chute side data form or by using the a palm or a handheld computer, and easy report generation.
Once your herd is established into the HAT Trax system, you can do
f iltering, sorting, and benchmarking against your herd or all animals
represented with the HAT Trax system.  There are upwards of 650
different fields available in the HAT Trax system across different
categories such as herd inventory, herd averages, health, breeding,
carcass, feedlot, and transfer information.  

Any producer can participate in the HAT Ranch system by registering through a HAT Ranch rep or by
